Guardian reading wokerati. The stuff I tweet is the stuff I tweet. Was once in the Olympics, and I have a tattoo, although these things are not related.

The 3 steps of a fake culture war tweet: 1. Find an isolated event that reinforces a prejudice 2. Extrapolate this is happening ‘everywhere’ 3. Show mock outrage at the story you’ve just invented It’s a simple formula, we must stop responding, they just want clicks Please retweet

Labour are going to need a better story about Morgan McSweeney’s phone. When precisely was it stolen? Where was it stolen? What were the circumstances of the theft? And why can’t McSweeney access his old WhatsApp account using the recovery process? faq.whatsapp.com/11973470609928…

‘The Prime Minister’s chief of staff has no back up of his messages?’ @Lewis_Goodall wants to know what happened to Morgan McSweeney's phone containing texts with Peter Mandelson.

Dear BBC/Sky News For some strange reason there are no headlines regarding the Priti Patel story that she BLOCKED the FBI from quizzing the then Prince Andrew over Epstein. If you do not report the news as is,what exactly are you here for? #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast #TrevorPhillips

Hey @JDVance, you said we should "call out" people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death. Surely you will call out this Vietnam draft dodger who celebrated the death of a Marine veteran who earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam.

I’m fearful for our next few years. On issue after issue - migration, energy, welfare and the war - Polanski and Rayner are running Starmer.

@McardleTrevor How on earth can Robbie Gibb be a GB News editorial adviser AND be head of the BBC. No wonder we're seeing so much of Nigel Farage. He's not independent - Gibb needs to go

@MelJStride And yet while you were in power, you did absolutely nothing to remove it. Funny that.

In Britain today there is a tax that punishes ambition, traps families in the wrong homes, and quietly freezes our housing market in place. You all know the one I mean. Stamp Duty. It is a punitive tax on moving house. And that means it is a tax on living your life. It punishes the young couple trying to buy their first home. It punishes the growing family who need another bedroom for a new baby. It punishes the worker who wants to move across the country for a better job. And it punishes pensioners who would happily downsize - freeing up larger homes for younger families - but simply cannot afford the tax bill. The result is predictable. Fewer people move. Fewer homes come onto the market. And the ladder of home ownership becomes harder and harder to climb. A healthy housing market should allow people to move to the right home, in the right place, at the right stage of life. Stamp Duty does the opposite. It locks people in place. Abolishing it would unlock Britain. Young people would find it easier to buy their first property. Couples could upsize to start a family. Older homeowners could downsize without being punished by the taxman. And when people move, the whole economy moves with them. More people moving means more work for builders, painters and renovators. More customers for local DIY shops. More business for furniture shops and tradespeople. A single house move sets off a chain reaction of economic activity in communities right across the country. Estate agents @WinkworthUK, who I have been out with this week, see buyers and sellers every day who have to face hugely punitive stamp duty bills. And the evidence shows just how damaging stamp duty is. According to the @OBR_UK, a one percentage point increase in stamp duty can reduce property transactions by between five and seven per cent. Yet on this Government’s watch the stamp duty due on a £300,000 home will have doubled during their time in office. But beyond the economics lies something deeper. We @Conservatives believe that owning your own home gives you a real stake in society. It gives people roots in their community and pride in their neighbourhood. So a future Conservative Government will abolish Stamp Duty on primary residences altogether. Finished. Gone. And we’ll pay for it by getting a grip on government spending - including £23 billion in welfare reform because responsible tax cuts must be funded and must support economic growth. If Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are serious about growth - about unlocking opportunity and fixing Britain’s broken housing market - they should do the same. Because a country where people cannot afford to move is a country where social mobility stalls. But a country where families can settle where they choose, not where they’re stuck? That is a freer, fairer, more dynamic Britain. And it starts by scrapping Stamp Duty.
Mel Stride@MelJStride

Stamp Duty is a terrible tax. A tax on aspiration. This week I went to @WinkworthUK to meet a first time buyer and someone looking to downsize to hear their thoughts on the @Conservatives pledge to ABOLISH Stamp Duty when you buy your home.

In 2023, @KemiBadenoch hosted an Iftar at Lancaster House. I was there. Here’s what happened: • Call to prayer ✔️ • Men and women prayed separately ✔️ • She stayed, participated, ate food, and raised no issue ✔️ Fast forward to now and she claims Ramadan events with gender-separated prayer are “wrong” and should never have happened. So what changed? Not the practice. Not the format. Just the politics and her principles. If it was acceptable when she was in government hosting diplomats and business leaders, why is it suddenly “wrong” when it involves ordinary British Muslims? You can’t have it both way

That's a serious accusation to make, @SteveReedMP. To which racial group do you believe I was racist? If you can't answer, we'll be free to conclude you're a liar. x.com/ArchRose90/sta…
Chris Rose@ArchRose90

Car crash interview for Housing Secretary Steve Reed. He branded Nick Timothy’s comments as “racist”. When his lazy accusation was challenged by @CamillaTominey, he referred to other faiths. Christians, Hindus, Jews etc have never had sex-segregated prayers in Trafalgar Square.

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

This is characteristically vile and predictably deranged, but the important thing to remember is that Trump never said anything remotely so negative or definitive about the death of his long-time best friend Jeffrey Epstein. And he wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well. Think about that.

While Trump humiliated himself, the United States, all Americans and the PM of Japan with the Pearl Harbor comments, PM Mark Carney pulled a Jake Ryan and surprised her with a birthday cake. Canada: still winning over America.

Dame Priti Patel. Sacked over secret meetings with Israeli ministers. Found guilty of bullying. She kept her job. The ethics advisor was sacked. Now found to have BLOCKED the FBI from quizzing the then Prince Andrew over Epstein. The woman is an ABOMINATION.
